for the people who are waiting for EP2 or just find the grind to nasty, Codemasters has announced a double xp weekend. I'm not sure wether is due to my poll i placed on the official forums or not, but hell, it sure helped:
"Apr 2nd 2007, 17:36 GMT
Double XP Weekend Extravaganza
This bank holiday weekend ArchLord will be granting double XP to all its players, including trial accounts! Now is a perfect time to re-roll a character and get a jump on everyone else.
Better yet, if you aren't currently playing ArchLord why not get a trial account and get ahead of all your friends! Get yourself a trial key here: FilePlanet Trial
Bring your friends along as well, level together and get ready for the ultimate battle in ArchLord: The free to play MMO.
See you in Chantra."
so whoever wants to have a go at the trial, be sure to do it then.
